I've been Andorian from day one. But in non-Andorian arenas (or any arena for that matter), I respect the local style and may play by it.

Meaning you're a closet 'Larq, and your values are discarded like a wedding band after 4 days travel from home? Or meaning you hire local talent, and don't force them to train to a foreign style? Personally, it matters not to me, but your compatriots might find something wrong with your statement.

p.s. I enjoy playing to different styles myself, as it allows for subtle differences that are refreshing.

And as for The Consortium being closet Democrats? That is their personal choice. I won't hold their politics against them.

How somebody could be a staunch Republican wind up being Andorian is beyond my comprehension. It's like Reagan being soft on Communism!

Or like Saddam Hussein being soft on Genghis Khan.

Careful with the political talk boys your liable to get me going again. Especially since Bush II has adopted many Historically Democratic stances (Truman Doctrine, Wilson's making the world safe for democracy, CLINTON'S policy on invading Iraq, etc.). It pains me to admit that! Don't worry that's the end of my talk on this matter! Except to say VIVA ANDORIA

Well, if we're going to open that door. That's OK because he has offset that with conservatism of the worst sort to balance the scales. Handing the country lock stock and barrel to the deep religious right, chipping away at reproductive and basic civil rights, managing the govt as a vehicle for the oil companies' and others corporate profits, invading Iraq like his father and unlike Clinton, the vicious attacks against anyone who disagrees with the adminstration's hawkish policies, unwillingness to participate with good faith in the international community, the absolutely arrogant disrespect for the rule of law or the separation of powers in this country, wrapping his treason in the flag, and convincing the gullible masses of this country that he represents their interests. Etc.

Whoa, did I say that all out loud? And I will as well refrain from dragging this into an exteneed political discussion. Happy holidays to all!

We're voting for him again for the 3rd term ..... oh, we can't? How sad.

LOL!! Nice! Even though I meant what I said, I've actually only run in one non-Andorian basic arena, and that was a Lirith Kai Arena, so actually, I've never actually HAD to change my style to fit the arena I'm in. I'll let you know if I ever come out of the closet... as a 'Larq that is.

Ps. Xiang, if you ever run into Tankesh in a non-Andorian arena, you might learn he was never in the closet to begin with!

I look forward to that day we find you in Mordant! You will find, I believe, that my play style *SHOCK!!* isn't much different there than in Aruak City. I will, however, use all the tools available in a conflict (ie responding to a DC or in a Bloodfeud) when not restrained, as in Aruak City.
